use mineral oil instead of diesel.. sticks better and they cows won't hate you as much.

my cows hate me anyway,so they get the diesel..and its off-road to .that really sticks in their claw...

Calm handling practices will always lead to more pounds at the sale barn. One fella here I saw even had his cows “happy” when he was artificially inseminating them. I believe he mentioned them having a smile when he was done. From the pictures he posted, they were some bigger cattle, so it must be true

Well, my biggest bull and heifer calf this year are the most laid back of the bunch

Where do you get bulk mineral oil?
All I found are 1 gallon jugs at TSC for over $15. I did buy one of those to put on the face bullet on the mineral barrel, but would go broke spraying it everywhere.

Happy cows and an equally happy cattle producer no doubt.
Is he the one that also stated he had given unique names for those animals too...said he named them after ladies he knew online?

You can "make" your gateway taller by strapping a longer pole to the existing pole.
When mineral oil was suggested, my thoughts were "how expensive will that be". LOL
You might even just let it hang "down" on one side, so they have to go by it, in & out, to get them used to it.

Can get cooking oil at the dollar store for $6/gal. Works well with insecticide for fly control.

This is exactly what I do. You have to be smarter than the cattle and allow them to get acquainted with the rub on their own terms without pressure or duress. The slower you go the faster they learn to accept and appreciate it.
